The worst thing that someone can do if they come across the dead body of a Sasquatch is contact the authorities. Only an individual or a group like the NAWAC, which has its own protocol can avoid a potential cover-up.

,,,, and what , exactly, would NAWAC do with it that would then make sure it was covered on CBC, Global, or CTV news (given that you and I are Canadian)?

Nope. The research and resulting claims made by Ms. Strain are not accepted by any legitimate journal nor are they accepted by her peers.
Therefore, the paintings referred to are not evidence of Bigfoot being a part of North American Native culture.

Try again.

If the Idaho State University's journal is a fake, then I would like to see evidence of it.

Also, even the most popular journals are known to make mistakes sometimes and retract their work. Publishing something in a journal isn't some sort of authentication of anything. All it does is make sure you followed proper methodology.

The Native Americans were different than we are. They didn't make up mythical creatures. They were honest and hard working hunter gatherers who lived hand-to-mouth and had no time for fantasy. Anybody who made up a story about seeing a hairy wildman was immediately ostracized for not pulling their own weight in the struggle for survival. Only genuine observations were allowed to exist.

A pictograph of a fantasy would have been erased and we would not find it in a cave or on some rock face. In order to understand Indians you have to understand that they had no imagination. They only had real animals around them and enduring pigments to mark their world.

I'm seeing Relict Hominoid Inquiry at your link.

If one were to combine every non-Sasquatch report out there and compare it to the number of Sasquatch reports, the number won't even be remotely close. That should be obvious to everyone here by now.

I think you're wrong, especially since there is no way of knowing how many footie reports are actually reports at all. It could be that most of them are fabricated by the "reporting" groups. Which is why they suck as evidence.

At any rate, I'm sure that back in the day (and perhaps even today) **** loads of folks reported seeing werewolves in Eastern Europe. Elvis is probably "reported" daily as well. Additionally, many traditional Hawaiians have stories about Pele and Menehune.

Every culture has campfire stories; what is obvious is you haven't looked into these myths whatsoever.

It's possible that there were dead bodies recovered during that time, but we don't have any skeletons to confirm it. There's also no way to know if they were around for the last 15,000 years. My own research suggests that the Sasquatch phenomenon is more of a recent occurrence.

I don't know if Canada is in on it. I've heard of investigated UFO sightings being classified as secret here, but that's about it as far as cover-ups go.

Your own research seems to rely on possibilities, assumptions, assertions, and anecdotes.

Walrus with a moustache, a giant otter, a bear with a sinus infection, a sasquatch with two monocles, a hairy ghost with the bleeding eyes? It seems quite open to speculation and interpretation, and has not conclusively been shown to be a representation of a bigfoot.

OS, you and Kathy Moskowitz Strain may conclude that the Hairy Man Pictograph = Bigfoot, where is the evidence that the majority of archaeologists have also reached that conclusion?

Do you have something a bit more concrete?

Other than the PGF, the most concrete thing I can think of is the geographical and seasonal patterns that can be seen across reports. They rule out misidentification as being a significant source for reports and they suggest that Sasquatch are biologically real entities.

Bigfoot is seen everywhere and at all times in all seasons. Here and there and at daytime and nighttime. Folks, we have a pattern. Put it in your pipe and smoke it!

Edited...I thought this was an actual OS quote and took it seriously.

Good one Parcher!
